Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 30, 2017

Earlier today, Josh Mathews is left out of the backstage meeting to the point that Bruce Prichard and Jeremy Borash find him extremely annoying. Also, Karen Jarrett shows up and asks everyone to tell Sienna she is looking for her if they see her.



Karen Jarrett shows up to start the show. She is embarrassed and ashamed to talk about Maria Kanellis-Bennett leaving the company, saying that her spot being open has caused some extremely ugly and unprofessional behavior in the Knockouts locker room to the point that bullying is taking place. Karen calls out Sienna, who shows up. Karen says she has not heard one positive word about her anywhere, and says her behavior, actions and words will not be tolerated. Sienna says that Allie is to blame for her being called out, but Karen tells her to step back. Sienna says she got here on her own talent, not through who she married. Karen tells Sienna she doesn't have a clue who she got here, and admits she has done some things in Impact that she regrets, and gives Sienna the chance she never had: 15 seconds to apologize to her face. As Karen counts down, a man shows up and tells Karen to wipe the smile off her face. He introduces himself as "KM," and says Sienna is his cousin and family. He demands Sienna be given respect, and gives Karen 15 seconds to respond to him and his family. Braxton Sutter and Allie shows up, and Sutter brawls with KM until KM and Sienna retreat. Karen Jarrett then puts KM in a match with Sutter later tonight.



The X Division talks about what makes Impact great.

Andrew Everett beats DJ Z by reversing a ZDT into a small package. After the match, Gregory Shane Helms and Trevor Lee show up, and Helms tells Everett he has a long way to go. However, because he is feeling generous, he gives Everett a chance to climb the ladder next week.



Jeremy Borash interviews Rosemary, who says the age of shadow is all-consuming and that the darkness has spawned the greatest Knockouts champ of all time. She says that the Knockouts Division should accept their inevitable decay...then ODB shows up and introduces herself to Rosemary, saying Rosemary wouldn't be standing in the ring if it wasn't for her. She toasts Rosemary for being the champion, but says she will take the title and toast herself. Rosemary leaves the ring saying ODB feels worthy, but "The Hive" disagrees. She is obviously not interested in the match, and the Knockout Division shows up to force her back in the ring. Madison Rayne wants a shot at the Knockouts title, while Brandi Rhodes wants a piece of Rosemary. Diamante, on the other hand, wants to fight, and all the Knockouts have an impromptu fight.



Ethan Carter III shows up. He apologizes for the end of last week's show, saying that Impact has changed and that he must change with it by reasserting his past dominance. He says he must become "the real EC3." He says he will win the World title for a third time and join an elite squad of multiple-time world champs, then "Cowboy" James Storm shows up, asking why he wasn't mentioned. EC3 says Storm won the world title once. Storm tells EC3 that he built Impact while EC3 was in high school and college, then says both of them want to be World champ. Storm then says they both want the World title, and EC3 says the fans should decide who gets the title shot against Lashley. Both men agree on this.



We see a video package about Laredo Kid and Garza Jr. talking about lucha libre and what they plan to accomplish at Impact.



Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) want to make an impact at Impact.



Moose retains the Impact Grand Championship against Cody Rhodes by split decision. During the first round, Cody Rhodes goes for a superkick on Moose outside of the ring only to accidentally knock out one of the judges. Beofre the third round, Brandi Rhodes tells Cody "I love you more than anything, but you and him are acting like idiots! Kill each other if you want to, I don't give a goddamn!" before storming off to the back.



We see a video package of what has happened between Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards. Next week, both men square off in a Last Man Standing Match.



Eli Drake says that Impact allows for the unexpected to happen, whether it's something you don't expect or up-and-coming stars in the making.



Karen Jarrett gives Jeremy Borash some news: there will be a Knockouts Gauntlet Battle Royal to determine a new #1 contender for the Knockouts title.

KM beats Braxton Sutter after Sienna grabs Allie from behind, distracting Sutter and allowing KM to hit Sutter with a powerbomb into the back of his knees. After the match, Allie fights Sienna, Sutter gets back in the ring to fight KM, and an impromptu tag team brawl takes place until a drunk Laurel Van Ness shows up and screams at Allie and Sutter from the entrance ramp.



The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Homicide, Santana, Ortiz, Diamante) go over their plan for tonight's tag team title match.



The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) beat the team of Laredo Kid and Garza Jr., Decay (Crazzy Steve and Abyss) and Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) to win the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Championships!

Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 29, 2017

Dash Wilder beats Johnny Gargano and Akam in a Triple Threat Match. Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson leave mid-match, but suddenly come back so Dawson can hold Akam by his foot while Dash Wilder sneaks in to get the pinfall after a powerbomb to Gargano by Akam.

Asuka tells Ember Moon she knows who she is and says she's not ready. Asuka then signs the contract. Ember Moon tells Asuka she's been ready for a long time, but Asuka snickers and leaves. William Regal signs the contract and wishes Ember Moon luck at TakeOver.

We see a video package of the events leading to "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship at TakeOver.

YThe identity of the woman who came to the aid of "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger, No Way Jose and Roderick Strong last week is Ruby Riot, and it is announced that the four of them will face SAnitY at TakeOver.

Kassus Ohno beats "The Drifter" Elias Samson in a Loser Leaves NXT Match. After Ohno leaves, a distraught Samson refuses to do the same, and security surrounds the ring. Samson runs, but security grabs him and is about to carry him out when Samson says he'll leave on the condition that his guitar is handed back to him. Before that can happen, Ohno is back and he has the guitar. He teases destroying it, then lays it down for Samson to take. When Samson tries to take it back, however, Ohno stomps the guitar, and security immediately carts him out of the building. Kassius Ohno continues to destroy the guitar to end the show.

My predictions for WrestleMania 33

Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (c)

for the WWE Championship

Well, it had to happen, didn't it? Orton only joined the Wyatt Family just to strike Bray Wyatt where it would hurt him the most - no wonder he set the body of Sister Abigail and the Wyatt Family compound itself to the ground! Now he plans to take everything from him...including the WWE Championship...

My prediction: Randy Orton is taking the title.

Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg (c)

for the WWE Universal Championship

Well, this had to happen, too, didn't it? Goldberg predictably took the Universal title at Fastlane, and now he gets to face Brock Lesnar with the winner of this match taking the title as well.

My prediction: For some reason, I have the feeling that Lesnar will be taking the Universal title, and that some outside force is going to make sure that happens. Probably Owens. So Lesnar it is.

The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns

Well, we all knew this was coming. Roman Reigns, wanting Braun Strowman, gets the surprise of a lifetime and gets The Undertaker instead.

My prediction: 'Taker is winning this...somehow.

Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho (c)

for the WWE United States Championship

After Jericho cost Owens the WWE Universal Championship at FastLane, Owens wants revenge on the man he used to keep the title in the first place. Not surprisingly, he wants to take the United States title away from him as fitting payback for losing the Universal title to Goldberg. Now Owens and Jericho are squaring off in a well-awaited WrestleMania match...

My prediction: Something tells me this is Jericho's swan song (for now, anyway). Owens is taking the title.

John Cena and Nikki Bella vs. The Miz and Maryse

It's been six years, but Cena and The Miz are facing each other at WrestleMania again. Only this time, their significant others are involved and Maryse is having her first match in the company in over six years. This one's going to be interesting.

My prediction: Cena and Nikki will probably get this one in order to send the folks away with a Hollywood ending...that doesn't involve The Miz.

Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax vs. Bayley (c)

in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship

It's come down to this. Charlotte has been fighting a two front war against both Sasha and Bayley, who are sick and tired of her domination on the Raw Women's roster and want the Raw Women's title. But wait? What's this? Nia Jax is somehow in the match after Bayley lost a match to her on Raw, which Stephanie McMahon made since she doesn't seem to like her? Well, that makes it a little more interesting, at the very least.

My prediction: Bayley is going to retain...somehow...

The SmackDown Women's Division vs. Alexa Bliss (c)

for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship

Alexa Bliss just can't seem to go without angering people, now, can she? It's now gotten to the point where she's defending the SmackDown Women's title against every available woman in the SmackDown Women's division. Even more amazing is the fact that Naomi is back just in time for WrestleMania. How's Alexa going to get out of this one?

My prediction: Naomi is taking the title back in her own hometown.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass
vs. Sheamus and Cesaro
vs. Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) (c)

in a Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder Match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships

Gallows & Anderson thought they could avoid a title defense...but they were wrong. Thanks to General Manager Mick Foley, the two teams they didn't want near the belts now have a shot at them at the same time...and they don't have to be pinned to lose them. And now that there are ladders involved, anything can happen!

My prediction: Enzo Amore and Big Cass are taking the titles.

The 2017 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Well, we've got this match again. A whole bunch of guys are in a ring and they all toss each other over the top rope until one man remains, all in the memory of the greatest wrestling giant that ever lived.

Participants named are: Mojo Rawley, Apollo Crews, Big Show, Curt Hawkins, Bruan Strowman, Goldust, R-Truth, Primo, Epico, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, Jinder Mahal, Sami Zayn. Tyler Breeze, Fandango

My prediction: Long shot, but Sami Zayn.

AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon

After basically being denied a WWE Championship match in just about every way possible - among other things - Styles has finally lost it and taken his anger out on the SmackDown commish. Unfortunately for AJ, a few lacerations to the head isn't enough to take the fight out of Shane McMahon, who now wants to give him a WrestleMania beatdown.

My prediction: AJ Styles is going to win this one...somehow...

Baron Corbin vs. Dean Ambrose (c)

for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Baron Corbin, ever looking for people to beat up and make a name for himself off of, has Dean Ambrose in his sights now...and the Intercontinental Championship, too! Not even crushing Ambrose with a forklift is enough to put Ambrose out of commission, and now these two are going to square off at WrestleMania...

My prediction: Baron Corbin is taking the title.

Austin Aries vs. Neville (c)

for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Neville has destroyed everyone in the Cruiserweight division...and Austin Aries, now back in action from an orbital bone injury, is the only challenge Neville has left...and Aries thinks he's above Neville's level. He has only one shot to prove it at WrestleMania...

My prediction: Austin Aries is taking the title.

Seth Rollins vs. Triple H

in a non-sanctioned match

Seth Rollins doesn't care if he's injured. He doesn't want to miss WrestleMania again. But since Triple H dumped him for Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins feels very, very betrayed and wants to get his hands on Triple by any means necessary, even if it means signing a hold harmless agreement that keeps him from holding anybody resposible if he gets hurt even more. That's good news for Rollins, but that's even better news for Triple H, who promises to absolutely destroy him at WrestleMania...

My prediction: Triple H is going to decimate Rollins. I don't see this ending at WrestleMania.

205:Alive - 205 Live recap for March 28, 2017

Dasha Fuentes interviews Neville. He says he was disrespected last night, and that Austin Aries won't be laughing after WrestleMania. He says he continues to go unappreciated, and that 205 Live will soon see what it's like without Neville in it.

Rich Swann beats Ariya Daivari. Before the match, it is announced that Daivari is replacing Noam Dar in the match as Noam Dar was injured last night in his match against Austin Aries.

Dasha Fuentes interviews Alicia Fox, who says Noam Dar will be back soon enough. Rich Swann shows up saying he was looking forward to their match, then someone delivers a package to Alicia Fox. It happens to be perfume, and Rich Swann leaves as Alicia sprays it around.

Drew Gulak meets Mustafa Ali in the locker room. He says Ali's ability puts 205 Live on the map. Ali says the audience reaction for him feels like he doing the right thing, but Drew Gulak asks him if he's sure about that. As Gulak says what 205 Live should be about - something other than audience-pleasing flips - Ali suddenly vanishes. Turns out, he has a match.

Mustafa Ali beats Brandon Scott. Drew Gulak watches the match from the locker room, and doesn't seem to like what he sees.



The Brian Kendrick beats Akira Tozawa with a schoolboy pin after Tozawa hits his head on a turnbuckle that Kendrick exposed. After the match, Kendrick teaches Lesson #9: anything and everything can be used as a weapon.



Neville shows up. He says he is at a crossroads, and that he has looked back at what has put him where he is now. He says he has not had it easy and has faced many a trial and tribulation, and along the way, he has been belittled, overlooked, and disrespected. He has picked himself up time and time again. He then talks about the ankle injury he suffered last year, and how he came back to carry 205 Live on his back. However, the fans would rather cheer for "a commentary clown" and boo him, and if the fans want Aries to dethrone him, they should be careful what they wish for. We then see footage of 205 Live without Neville, which happens to be black space - nothing. Neville says 205 Live is nothing about him, and that it is about him and not the fans. Austin Aries shows up and tells Neville that he runs the fans down to feed his ego. He says 205 Live would be something without him, but with him, it's twice and great. He admits Neville is great, then says he's just a little bit better, and that he'd rather have a sense of humor so that he doesn't walk around angry like Neville. He then says he and Neville had to outwork everyone and take when nobody would give, and that they both have big egos because of it, but at WrestleMania, he will take the Cruiserweight title from him. Neville angrily attacks Aries and plants him into the mat, then almost considers leaving. When he goes back for more, Austin strikes back and almost gets Last Chancery in, but Neville manages to escape.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for March 28, 2017

General Manager Daniel Bryan starts tonight's show with a contract signing for AJ Styles vs. Commissioner Shane McMahon. Shane is introduced first, followed by Styles. Shane says that AJ Styles has always been a part of his vision to make SmackDown Live the show to watch, and says that Styles is one of the greatest talents to step into a WWE ring and says he is "truly phenomenal." He says that Styles exploded when he arrived to the WWE and quickly won the WWE Championship, but as time passed, he became arrogant and his ego got in the way of everything, costing him the WWE Championship and almost his career. Shane tells Styles if he does not give him his best at WrestleMania, he won't feel so phenomenal afterwards. He signs the contract. Styles asks Shane if he knows what he's in for, as they are having a traditional wrestling match and not a match without rules. He says the ring is his home, and in his home, he is untouchable. After listing off the who's who of people Shane has taken on in the past, Styles tells Shane he has never been in the ring with someone like him, and that Shane will find out how phenomenal he is. He signs the contract, then pushes the table. Shane and Styles have a brief staredown and Daniel Bryan has to play peacemaker before it gets physical, and asks them to shake hands. Styles refuses, and leaves the ring.



Mickie James and Alexa Bliss guest on commentary for the next match.

Becky Lynch vs. Carmella ends when Mickie James and Alexa Bliss fight each other after they argue on commentary, first at ringside and then in the ring. All four women face each other, then Mickie James and Becky Lynch briefly stare down before Mickie points at the WrestleMania sign. This leads to the match becoming a tag team match between the team of Mickie James and Becky Lynch and the team of Alexa Bliss and Carmella.

Carmella and Alexa Bliss beat Mickie James and Becky Lynch. During the match, Natalya shows up and guests on commentary. After the match, all five women brawl, but the biggest surprise is the return of Naomi, who had to relinquish the SmackDown Women's title weeks ago. She is back at 100% in time for WrestleMania, and she's in the match for the SmackDown Women's title.



Tyler Breeze, dressed up like Nikki Bella, tells General Manager Daniel Bryan that he is available for the SmackDown Women's Title match if he needs him. Daniel Bryan says no, then Tyler Breeze removes his wigs and Fandango shows up, telling him he should have worn the bracelet that is in his hands. Breeze laments that he and Fandango will not have a WrestleMania moment this year, and Daniel Bryan decides to recify that by placing them in a ten-man tag team match tonight and giving them the last two slots in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.



We look back at Pete Rose getting hit with a Tombstone Piledriver by Kane at WrestleMania 14.

It's time for Miz TV and the "Total Bellas" finale. It is announced that Al Roker will be the special guest ring announcer for John Cena and Nikki Bella vs. The Miz and Maryse. In the finale, "John Cena" and "Nikki Bella" have dinner, and "Bryan" and "Brie" are also guests. After amazingly crazy dinner rules, "Nikki" asks "John Cena" to marry her. After a commercial break, "John Cena" says he does...not ever want to marry her as it will damage his brand, and all he respects is money and only loves himself, as he is not a good person and that if "Nikki" continues to believe otherwise, he will toss her into the gutter like the rest of them. He says that "never gives up" means that if he gives up his spot, he will be made irrelevant. He says he is a ghost because there's nothing to see. "Cena" and "Nikki" give up the charade, reveal themselves as The Miz and Maryse, and tells them that after WrestleMania, Cena will no longer be able to call himself a man and that the fans will not his entire life is "total bullshit." The real Cena and Nikki show up, and Cena admits he found the "Total Bellas Bullshit" sketches pretty funny, but when the jokes were over and the Miz became himself, it stopped being funny. Cena tells Miz and Maryse that they believe their own crap, and calls them out of it. He says he's shooting a movie, just like several Superstars before him - including Miz - and says he's still brand loyal. He then tells Miz that the movies Miz has made are crappy bootlegs of movies he made. Cena then wants to know what The Miz is still doing here, then talks about the Women's Revolution and says the women of WWE are doing more than Miz. Cena says that Maryse was only hired back so they could put Miz on Total Divas and that Miz is using her for that, then says that The Miz and Maryse also don't have kids like Cena and Nikki do. Cena then tells Miz and Maryse they sound ridiculous and blame everyone but themselves for their failures, and at WrestleMania, he and Nikki are going to destroy them. After some more choice words and daring them to step up, Miz and Maryse retreat, tease going back in the ring and retreat again. Nikki calls them "fake ass, see-through haters," and at WrestleMania, they'll kick their asses.







American Alpha (Jason Jordan and Chad Gable), Rhyno, Heath Slater and Mojo Rawley beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), Dolph Ziggler and Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango).



Luke Harper tells Bray Wyatt that he has seen the truth. He doesn't need Bray Wyatt, and he is free. He says that if he were Bray, he would run.

Bray Wyatt beats Luke Harper. Randy Orton then appears on the TitanTron in the remains of the Wyatt Family compound. He tells Bray Wyatt that his fate will be sealed at WrestleMania after driving a crucifix - the same one that Wyatt pointed at him last week - into the remains of Sister Abigail and "deliver a serpentine blow" that ends Sister Abigail's influence over Bray.





On Talking Smack, Baron Corbin continues to tell Dean Ambrose that he will take everything from him. Ambrose takes a television remote and both figuratively and literally turns him off.



Here are the top 10 moments for tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 27, 2017

Before the show, it is announced that the Fatal 4-Way Match for the Raw women's title is now an elimination match.



The Undertaker takes over the beginning of the intro.

Bayley shows up. She asks who is ready for WrestleMania. After talking about how the WrestleMania sign gives her goosebumps and reminiscing about how she and her friends would pool their money together and beg her parents to buy WrestleMania on pay-per-view, Charlotte shows up. She calls Bayley a paper champion and says Sasha used Bayley to make her way back into WrestleMania, and says she will take the title back on that night. After seeing a tweet from Sasha on the TitanTron, Charlotte says that Sasha only cares about championships and not friendships, and that Sasha is waiting to stab Bayley in the back. Sasha says that Charlotte is trying to stir the pot, and that she will take care of business at WrestleMania. Nia Jax then arrives, calling what's going on between Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte "high school drama" before saying she will eliminate each and every one of them at WrestleMania and give the Raw Women's title a permanent home. Charlotte tells Nia that she is only in the match so that Sasha can stop pretending to care about Bayley. Sasha suddenly blindsides Charlotte, starting a brawl between all four women and an impromptu tag team match made during the break.



Bayley and Sasha Banks beat Charlotte and Nia Jax. After the match, Nia Jax hits Bayley and Sasha with Samoan Drops, then plows through Charlotte before hoisting the Raw Women's title above her head.



The 2017 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is this Friday at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central on the WWE Network.



Charly Caruso interviews Sami Zayn. He says that it's been a rough week and that what's important is to honor Mick Foley's message and rise up. He throws his hat in the ring for the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, but Commissioner Stephanie McMahon shows up and makes Sami Zayn wrestle in a match to earn his way into the battle royal. Sami Zayn has to face Kevin Owens in a no-disqualification match, and if Sami doesn't win, not only is he not in the battle royal, he's also fired.

Neville guests on commentary for the next match, and he and Austin Aries stare down briefly as Aries makes his way to the ring for the next match.

Austin Aries beats Noam Dar with the Last Chancery to send a message to Neville after Alicia Fox's distraction allowing Noam Dar to get a roll-up pin fails with a kick-out from Aries. Aries and Neville then stare down after the match.



Seth Rollins is seen backstage hobbling his way to the ring...

We see footage of The Undertaker walking.

Seth Rollins enters the ring, where a table and two chairs are waiting. Rollins calls out Triple H so they can get the signing of the hold harmless agreement over with. Triple H shows up with the agreement in his hands, and Triple H tells Rollins that if he attacks him, he will defend himself and it won't go well for him. If he attacks him before the match, the match is off. Rollins tells Triple H to get in the ring, and Triple H then tells Rollins to sit down and listen to him. Rollins refuses, and Triple H says the match is off. Rollins sits down, and Triple H returns to the ring. Triple H tells Rollins he will go on until he destroys him, and when he does, nobody can be held responsible. Rollins doesn't care. Triple H tells Rollins he didn't sell his soul; he made a smart business decision, and that he is not living up to his full potential. He says he would rather eat well than sleep well. He tells Rollins he has one chance in life, and to grab it by the throat and make it count and to forget about everyone else. He then tells him the road to WrestleMania will lead him back to the hospital and back to the indies, then signs the contract and tells Rollins he is literally a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest and that the one-legged man has never won. He tells Rollins that if he signs, he's walking in, but he's not walking out. Rollins says he liked himself before he met Triple H, and that he didn't mind wrestling in the indies for very little. He says he gave up everything to stand with Triple H and has little to show for it, and tells Triple H to destroy him as nothing will stop him from tearing him apart. Rollins says he want "Seth Freakin' Rollins" back. After Rollins signs, Triple H kicks the table into Rollins and works on the bad knee. Rollins fights back however, and after tossing Triple H out of the ring, he nails him with the crutch he entered the ring with.



An Over The Top Challenge turns into a staredown between Braun Strowman and Big Show. Braun says if he wanted to, he'd get in the ring and kick his ass right now, but that's what the fans want. Braun says he does what he wants, and that the fans will have to wait until WrestleMania.



Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) call Enzo Amore and Big Cass stupid loudmouths, and say they will still be Raw tag champs after WrestleMania. They then say they're doing better than Enzo and Cass.

We see footage of The Undertaker digging a grave.

It is announced that Pitbull, Flo Rida, Lunchmoney Lewis and Stephen Marley will perform at WrestleMania.

Charly Caruso interviews Roman Reigns. Roman isn't worried about mind games or The Undertaker himself. He only believes in the big fight, and he is planning on getting in the ring and explaining what he is going to do to The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Earlier today, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) was at the New York Stock Exchange as well as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the steps made famous in Rocky.



Mike Rome interviews Sheamus and Cesaro. They don't care about the odds, and say they will win at WrestleMania. They are suddenly attacked by Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson), who then lay them out with a big metal ladder.

This year, he faces The Undertaker. He plans to put The Undertaker down. He says that this is his time now, and Philadelphia is his house. As soon as Roman says that this is his yard, we hear the gong of The Undertaker and the lights go out. The Undertaker tells Roman he has made a grave mistake, and says the ring is his yard, not Roman's, and that Roman's yard will soon become a grave. He says he has carved out a corner in Hell for him to go with all the souls in his collection, and at WrestleMania, the Roman Empire will fall, and that the ultimate thrill ride will be his last ride. We then see a gravestone meant for Roman Reigns, and The Undertaker tells Roman to live the next few days like they are his last, as they will be. The lights come back on, and The Undertaker is in the ring. Roman and The Undertaker stare down, then The Undertaker tells Roman that at WrestleMania, he will rest in piece. The lights then slowly dim to black.

WWE celebrates Women's History Month and the life and career of Maya Angelou.



Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens. He says that he was a Jerichoholic, but also says that Chris Jericho was never his best friend. He then says Chris Jericho fans are morons, and that if he knew better then, he wouldn't have spent his parents' money on Chris Jericho merchandise. He plans to tear Sami Zayn apart like he did The List of Jericho, and take his career from him like Jericho took away his Universal Championship. In six days, he will turn the ultimate thrill ride into Jericho's ultimate demise.



We see a video package of Seth Rollins' path to WrestleMania.



Sami Zayn beats Kevin Owens after Samoa Joe shows up only to be attacked by Chris Jericho, who goes after Joe and distracts Owens.

Tomorrow night on 205 Live: Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick!

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up. After some "Goldberg" and "Suplex City" chants, Heyman says there is a difference of opinion and that it will be settled at WrestleMania. He commends Goldberg on his comeback, but warns him that Lesnar is a beast who will chew him up and spit him out, and on Sunday, Goldberg will be going to Suplex City, where Goldbergs check in but never check out. After Heyman says that WrestleMania should be renamed "WrestleMania 33: Death of a Superstar," Heyman says that Lesnar does not fear the Spear, and that Goldberg will not survive the F-5. Goldberg shows up, and says people came to see them fight, not listen to them talk. Since he can't take the people of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to WrestleMania, he'll bring WrestleMania to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As Goldberg heads to the ring, Lesnar charges out of it, and Goldberg breaks Heyman in half with a Spear to end the show.



Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 25, 2017

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) show up. Chistopher Daniels takes the cover off a table to reveal a bottle of appletini drink and a wine glass, which he has a sip of to celebrate his recent ROH World Championship win. At the 15th Anniversary Show, he says Adam Cole was younger, faster and more technically sound than he was, but he was definitely not stronger as Kazarian created a plan that bamboozled Bullet Club and gave him his first ROH World Championship, which he says is sweeter than his drink of choice. Kazarian announces that he earned a shot at the Television title at the 15th Anniverary Show, and tells "The Villain" Marty Scurll he's coming for his title. Kazarian says that he and Daniels will always be brothers, and will always be the addiction you can't kick. Suddenly, Dalton Castle shows up. He asks about the appletini, saying "Is that a drink?" Daniel tells him "It's not a drink, it's an experience" and tells him to take it slow. An astounded Dalton Castle asks what it is, and when told it's an appletini, Castle says it is wonderful. When Kazarian looks for another glass, The Boys show up and bring him one...a big one. After the rest of the appletini is poured, they have a toast, and Castle congratulates Daniels for winning the ROH World title, saying his title victory was well-deserved. Castle doesn't envy him, however, as he has to wrestle him and he doesn't want to wish that upon anybody. Suddenly, Adam Cole shows up with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and says Daniels and Kazarian screwed him out of the ROH World Championship and that they will pay for what they have done. As for Dalton Castle, the idea of ROH World Champion compared to him is laughable, and at Supercard of Honor, it will not be Daniels vs. Castle, as the only man who deserves a shot at the World title is himself. Kazarian can't comprehend why Cole would want to get in the ring with Daniels again as "Daniels kicked Adam Cole in his Adam hole." Kazarian then realizes there's three of Bullet Club and three of them, and challenges Cole and the Bucks to a six-man tag match tonight. Cole accepts.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll calls himself the most dominating ROH World Television Champion in ROH history, and tells the roster to come and have a go if they think they're hard enough. All of a sudden, after the end of the promo shoot, Kenny King shows up and challenges him to a match for the ROH World Championship against him and The Rebellion (King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman). Scurll accepts.

The Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe). After the match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) state that they will bring the house down again at Supercard of Honor, and challenges The Hardys for both the ROH World Tag Team Championships and the Superkick Party championships in the match The Hardys made famous: a ladder match.

Dalton Castle and The Addiction The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) beat Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson).

But he says he's not doing it for the Angle family; instead, he's doing it for the Carter family. Josh Mathews interrupts, calling Karen an "evil, tryant queen" and complains about all the changes and news faces that have happened and shown up over the last few weeks, and then says his problem is with Karen, and asks Karen if she even knows who his wife is.

General Manager Daniel Bryan is approached by AJ Styles backstage, who says Styles would be fired if he had it his way. Daniel tells Styles that Commissioner Shane McMahon is a different kind of animal altogether, and tells him he has no idea what he's in store for at WrestleMania. Styles, apparently having no remorse for what he did last week, says he will head to the ring to brag about how good it felt to beat up Shane McMahon.

AJ Styles heads to the ring. He says he is not sorry for what he did to Commissioner Shane McMahon last week, saying that what he did made his heart swell. He brags about putting Shane through a car window, and says Shane is crazy for wanting to have a match with him. He accepts the match without hesitating, saying he wants to be part of WrestleMania and that Shane only wants to be in the ring with him because SmackDown Live would fail without him. He tells General Manager Daniel Bryan he is untouchable, and that he is going to WrestleMania after lacerating Shane's head in a parking garage. He plans to do what he did last week all over again...and teases making it worse than last time.



General Manager Daniel Bryan tells Commissioner Shane McMahon what AJ Styles plans to do to him. Shane apparently has a plan, and Daniel Bryan supports it. Baron Corbin shows up, wanting to know if Dean Ambrose has accepted his challenge for the Intercontinental Championship. Daniel Bryan says no, and Baron Corbin says he'll go to the blackjack table.

He then hits Corbin with Dirty Deeds.



AJ Styles continues to wait for Commissioner Shane McMahon in the parking lot.

Renee Young interviews Randy Orton, who says he can't quite get rid of Bray Wyatt. Suddenly, the lights dim in and out, and when they come back, he is surrounded by men in sheep masks.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 20, 2017

General Manager Mick Foley shows up to start the show. He reads from a sheet of set of index, saying that he has been honored to be General Manager for the last nine months and thanking Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for the experience of a lifetime, which he endangered last week. He apologizes for his actions last week, apologizes, says that he would rather have people talking about WrestleMania, and says that he will be taking a leave of absence from Raw. He then says that the index cards were handed to him by Tripe H, and as he speaks, his microphone is repeatedly cut off. Commissioner Stephanie McMahon then shows up and berates Foley, saying that Foley makes it all about him and that he screws up just about everything. She says Foley can't make tough decisions and can't think about what's best for business. She then proceeds to fire Mick Foley as General Manager. As Foley leaves, Sami Zayn shows up and not only calls out Stephanie McMahon on her treatment of Foley, but for her decisions as Commissioner in general. Stephanie thanks Sami for the "morality lesson," then tells him . Sami tells Stephanie McMahon that Foley has shown more class in the last nine months than she has in her entire life and that she should be ashamed of herself, but Stephanie doesn't care and tells him to head back to the locker room and figure out how to make it all up to her. Sami continues to call Stephanie out, then Samoa Joe shows up.

We get an update on Seth Rollins' rehabilitation from physical therapist Kevin Wilk. He says that Seth re-aggravated his knee injury last week and that his knee brace kept it from getting worse. His rehab is progressing well, but it will be several months before Seth is really ready to compete, which means Seth will miss WrestleMania and if he does show up there, he'll more than likely be in the doctor's office the next day.



Charlotte beats Dana Brooke.



Commissioner Stephanie McMahon meets up with Bayley backstage. Bayley says that she looked up to her, but now...not so much, as Bayley feels Stephanie uses her powers to hurt people. Stephanie McMahon then puts Bayley in a match against Nia Jax, and if Nia wins, she will be in the Raw Women's Championship match and it will become a Fatal Four-Way. To prevent a disqualification like last time, the match will be a no-disqualification match.

It's time for The Highlight Reel with Chris Jericho. His guest tonight is "the real Kevin Owens," and Jericho says he doesn't need Owens as he has a lot of friends in the WWE fans. He says that Owens fancies himself a prizefighter, but says that doesn't describe the real Kevin Owens. We then see pictures of Owens as a 16-year-old kid on the TitanTron, as well as Twitter DMs between Owens and Jericho, asking Jericho for advice. After saying that Jericho wants all that time spent with Owens back, then we see still images of what happened at FastLane. Jericho then says he is Owens' idol and not his friends, then says that at WrestleMania, his entrance theme will transport Owens back to being a 16-year-old nerd and remind Owens of what he got himself into. He then tells Owens that if losing the Universal title, then he should wait until their WrestleMania match is over to see how much it hurts then. Jericho is then about to put Owens on The List when Samoa Joe shows up. As Samoa Joe has Jericho distracted, Jericho is attacked from behind by Owens, who shows up from the crowd. Owens beats Jericho up, then tears up the papers of The List of Jericho and even eats one of the pages, destroying The List.



The Brian Kendrick quickly beats TJ Perkins as Perkins argues with the referee. After the match, Kendrick calls out Akira Tozawa, then says Akira Tozawa isn't even in the country and that he has his passport, which Tozawa left lying around. He then teaches Lesson #7: Be careful what you leave lying around.

Nia Jax beats Bayley in a no-disqualification match to enter the Raw Women's Championship match at WrestleMania.



WWE celebrates Women's History Month and the life and career of Mae Young.



Michael Cole interviews Triple H in the ring. Triple H says he is disappointed that he won't have a fight with Seth Rollins, and that Rollins has nobody to blame but himself for being inured as he stopped listening to him and started listening to the fans, and repeatedly has to tell himself that he is "the man." Triple H likens Seth Rollins' situation to Mick Foley's, saying that Foley ruined his own life by listening to the fans as well. After we see the footage of what happened to Seth Rollins last week on Raw, Triple H says that he gave Rollins the tools to make it in the business, but he is now done with Rollins. He asks Michael Cole to give Seth Rollins some complimentary tickets that he has, then takes him back as he has an idea: a "hold harmless" agreement that Seth can sign so he can face him in a non-sanctioned match, and all Seth has to do is show up next week to sign it. Triple H then asks Seth if he has guts or if he is a coward.



Sheamus and Cesaro beat Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in a 4-on-2 handicap match after Gallows and Anderson attack Enzo and Cass for mocking them before the match.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) talk about WrestleMania, and almost make a reference to the recent leak of Paige's nudes when Big E asks Xavier Woods if he has anything to talk about.



Austin Aries beats "The Premiere Athlete" Tony Nese. After the match, Neville shows up and says Aries is beneath him and not a threat to the Cruiserweight title. Austin says that Neville says he's the king of the cruiserweights, but knows that he is above Neville's level. He tells Neville to tell everyone he meets for the next 13 days that he is "king of the Cruiserweights," because after WrestleMania, his reign is over.



Emma is coming soon...

We look back at Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 19.

We see a video package of what happened after FastLane as well as an interview with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman.



Goldberg and Brock Lesnar meet face-to-face next week.

Austin Aries delivers a message to Neville tomorrow night on 205 Live.

Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman ends when The Undertaker shows up and stands between Roman and Strowman. Strowman approaches The Undertaker and gets choke slammed, then Roman hits The Undertaker with a Spear. As Roman leaves, The Undertaker stands right up, and stares down Roman.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 16, 2017



After the events of last week's Impact Wrestling, it is announced that Alberto El Patron has reluctantly and begrudingly vacated the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship due to the circumstances in which he won it in last week's main event match against Lashley.



Alberto El Patron shows up...without the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. After saying that he loves Impact because they do not make him pretend to be someone he's not, he says that Impact is his house. Last week, he proved to everyone - including himself and the fans - that Lashley was beatable. He then says that if it were not for inside politics, he would still be World Heavyweight champ, and then calls out Lashley, wanting a fight. Instead of Lashley, however, El Patron gets Ethan Carter III, who commends him for relinquishing the World title after what happened last week, but tells him he can't just demand title shot and that he has to earn them. If he wants to earn one, he has to go through him, saying it's "Si vs. Three." El Patron says he has nothing against him, as he wants to fight Lashley and says the fans make the rules, not EC3. As he leaves, EC3 immediately questions the testicualr fortitude of Alberto El Patron, but El Patron gets back in the ring and tells him "I'm here to fight the big dog...not the bitch." After EC3 asks if there's nothing else he can do or say to get a match with him, El Patron repeats the "bitch" comment again. This immediately starts a brawl between the two men, and ever after officials and referees quickly rush into the ring to restore order, the brawl goes to the entrance ramp. Alberto El Patron gets in the ring and tells EC3 that if he wants a fight, he's got one.



One Night Only: March 2017 premieres on pay-per-view tomorrow night!

We see footage of Eddie Edwards, Moose and "The Cowboy" James Storm in Japan, who were in the country for some matches in Pro Wrestling Noah as part of Impact's partnership with them. The three of them say that the partnership will bring great things for Impact.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up before the next match, saying that Impact will not "pimp out" the Rhodes name on their terms as he stops Brandi Rhodes from wrestling tonight. Cody hands her $45, which he says "was $20 than [Impact] were going to pay her," and tells her to stand in the corner. He then talks about Moose, saying he is in Japan before saying he himself is Japan. He then calls out Moose, wanting a match for the Impact Grand Championship, and forces Brandi to follow him to the back. The match between Brandi Rhodes and Kayci Quinn ends up never happening.



After the commercial break, Kayci Quinn is being attacked by Rosemary, who hits her with Red Wedding.



Ethan Carter III says everything has happened for a reason, including him come to Impact. He says he is the reason to watch Impact.



Alberto El Patron beats Ethan Carter III with the Cross Arm Breaker.

McKenzie Mitchell interviews Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Lester the Legend), who say that they are the perfect combination of athleticism and violence. Their motto is "United we survive, divided we die," and that they plan to be Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Champions.

Ethan Carter III doesn't seem to be a good sport backstage, as he kicks a trash can. Bruce Prichard has to calm him down.

Madison Rayne says Impact Wrestling is her entire adult life for the last decade. With any company, there are ups and downs, and she's been through them all. She says this is an exciting time with fresh, new faces, and that it is time to bring a brand new vision of professional wrestling.



Jeremy Borash announces that "she" will debut next week.

Suicide is coming back...



Trevor Lee retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship against Braxton Sutter, Suicide and Andre Everett. Trevor Lee wins the match after Braxton Sutter is distracted by Laurel Van Ness, who is still in her wedding dress and grabbing at Allie from the stands, by hitting Sutter with a high knee as soon as he gets back in the ring.
